CITY OF BELLEVUE.
HISTORY, STATISTICS, POPULATION, REVIEW, &c.
Bellevue is situated on the Mississippi river, twenty-two miles below the city of Dubuque, and twelve miles from Galena, Ill- inois. The town site is upon a beautiful plateau of land whose general height is about fifteen feet above high water mark, and is surrounded by an amphitheatre of hills which break off the severe cold of winter. Few places on the river present more picturesque or beautiful scenery than that witnessed from the top of the high bluffs, either on the north or south of the town, including the river with its islands. the shores of Illinois be- yond, the farms and farm houses up the valley, which runs to a point westward at the distance of about six miles, and the vil- lage nestling in the ample area at the foot of the bluffs with its business streets, its levee and its tasty dwellings. A steam ferry boat makes constant trips between Bellevue and the opposite shore, whence a considerable portion of the country trade is re- ceived, and steamboats are almost constantly in sight, either at the landing, in the regular up or down river trips, or going to, or coming from Galena. The railroad trains of the Chicago. Dubuque & Minnesota road pass directly through the village to the station, which is just north of the corporate limits.

JACKSON COUNTY DIRECTORY.
HISTORICAL.
Bellevue has in some respects quite a romantic history. It belongs to a section of country which, prior to 1840, or during the time of the early settlement, was infested by an organized gang of horse thieves and outlaws. These thieves stole horses and committed depredations and sometimes murder in the fron- tier settlements, extending from Missouri to Rock River, Illinois. Jackson and the adjoining counties on the west, were the thea- ter of the operations of a portion of this gang, as the settle- ments were scattering and the extensive timber on the Ma- quoketa, afforded them facilities for concealment and escape from justice. They would steal horses in Missouri and bring them across the country to Bellevue, transferring them across the Mississippi at night, and exchanging them for horses stolen on the east side of the river. This made Bellevue a sort of head- quarters or rendezvous for the desperadoes, many of whom were known and identified by the citizens as belonging to the gang ; but it was dangerous to point them out publicly, or attempt to have them arrested for they out-numbered the honest settlers, and were in secret alliance with members of their gang who lived in many of the neighborhoods under the guise of respec- table citizens. For a long time it was difficult to determine who were honest men and who were thieves and outlaws. When a few of the honest settlers suspected their neighbors, they discussed the matter privately, but were afraid to take any public action, for they did not know who to trust, and in case of being betray- ed into the hands of the thieves, they would either be murdered or compelled to leave the country. Many murders were actually committed of citizens who informed of them ; others were miss- ing from their cabins and it was never known what became of them. The courts, in the country, could do nothing to suppress them, as they could bring more witnesses than could be brought against them, to prove an alibi, and by false swearing escape the clutches of the law.

THE CITIZENS' ASSOCIATION.
Things went on in this way till it became necessary for the settlers to organize for their own self protection. An associa- tion was formed at Linn Grove, in Linn County, in 1839, of which Captain W. A. Warren, then Sheriff of Jackson County, and an active participant in the stirring events of those pioneer times, gives the following account :
Colonel Cox, Mr. Moss and I took our departure, promising Bear we would return the next day. Passing up the Wapsie, we came to Russell's, where the town of Fairview is now loca- ted. Russell and Mr. Crow accompanied us to Linn Grove to the house of Mr .- which had been selected as our place of meeting. Arriving there about twelve o'clock we found the house crowded. Cedar County was represented by Messrs. Whitlesy, Culbertson, Roberts and others. Mr. Roberts will be remembered by members of the Territorial Legislature as the gentleman from Cedar, who, upon the introduction of any bill, would invariably address the chair with : " Mr. Speaker, ar Cedar in that ar bill, if not, I can't vote for it." Notwithstanding his little eccentricities of speech, he was a faithful representative, and true to his constituents. Jones County was represented at the meeting by Messrs. Bowen, Beardsley, and perhaps others. The object for which we met was to devise concerted action for the more effectual protection of the settlers from thieves and desperadoes, who were daily preying upon the honest portion of the community. Colonel Cox explained the steps that had al- ready been taken in Jackson County, and said he was glad to see the leading men of his sister counties present. He was an early settler in Illinois, and knew that all new counties were in- vested with banditti, who fled from justice in the older States, and held full sway for a time on the frontiers. But the hardy and honest pioneers are just the men to finally weed out such a class. He was of the opinion that moral suasion was wasted upon thieves and murderers. You cannot even reach them with

the law, for when one of the band is arrested, no matter how strong may be the evidence of his guilt, his confederates will prove an alibi for him. In Illinois we rid the country of them, and found the most effectual means to be hemp, and my idea now is to thoroughly organize and protect every citizen, not only in his property, but in free speech. Let the officers be vigilant, and arrest all trespassers of the law, and see that it is vigor- ously enforced. Whenever the law cannot be enforced, treat the desperadoes as we did in Illinois. After the Colonel's ad- dress the associations was formed, and picked men selected in every county to give information and carry out the plans of the society. Many incidents of horse stealing and passing counter- feit money were related by those present.
THE BELLEVUE WAR.
Among the apparently respectable citizens connected with the banditti, and discovered to be a leading man of the gang, was one Brown, proprietor of the Bellevue House, the only hotel then kept in the place. This house was the rendezvous of the thieves in transferring their stolen property across the Mississ- ippi, and at it occurred the fight with the desperadoes known as the Bellevue War, in the spring of 1840. The fight was brought on in the following manner :
One James C. Mitchell, a prominent citizen, had become ob- noxious to Brown's gang, on account of his exposure of their attempts to induce him to join them, and they determined to assassinate him. Accordingly a party entered his house in the evening for that purpose ; but Mitchell being absent at a party in the village, they robbed the house and attempted an outrage upon the person of his hired girl. The girl made her escape, and information was conveyed to Mitchell. The leader of the murderous gang was one James Thompson, who appears to have had respectable relations in the State of New York. When Mitchell heard of what had been done, he armed himself and started for his house. On a corner of the street he met

Thompson and Montgomery-the latter afterwards noted for the murder of Brown, of Maquoketa. Thompson attempted to shoot Mitchell, but his pistol missed fire, and the shooting was on the other side. Thompson fell, mortally wounded, and ex- pired in a few moments. The Brown thieves made an attempt to lynch Mitchell, but he escaped and fortified himself up stairs in his house till he could send for the Sheriff, into whose cus- tody he surrendered himself.
This act of daring outrage created a great excitement in the village and throughout the frontier settlements. The honest citizens, fully aroused, demanded lynch law. Captain Warren consulted Judge T. S. Wilson, who advised that the whole party should be arrested and brought before the District Court for trial. Warrants were accordingly issued by Justices Wat- kins and Harris, and Sheriff Warren was charged with the duty of arresting the parties. Meanwhile Brown and his confeder- ates, some twenty-three in number, had fortified themselves in the Bellevue House, occupying principally the upper story, and, armed with guns and pitchforks, were prepared for a desperate resistance. Captain Warren visited Brown in person, who agreed to surrender if the Captain would guarantee that he would not be at once seized and lynched by the excited people. To this the Captain, after consulting with his friends, agreed ; but as he was approaching the house in company with three men, to make the arrests, Brown appeared on the outside and ordered him to halt, saying that he had changed his mind ; that he had determined to resist to the last extremity ; that Warren might come alone and consult; but if the others ad- vanced another step they would be shot down.
Warren finding all efforts to induce a peaceable surrender fruitless, returned and informed the settlers, who, together with the citizens of the village, had assembled to the number of eighty men of the association. Out of these, forty were select- ed and made ready for the scene of action. Captain Warren ordered them to march so as not to expose themselves to the

fire of the enemy stationed up stairs, and when near the house gave orders for them to charge into the building. In this ac- tion one of the citizens was shot. Brown met the charging force at the door, and when ordered to surrender dropped his gun, which was discharged in falling. This was the signal for firing from the outside. One of the citizens taking good aim through a window, shot Brown in the neck, killing him in- stantly. The thieves in the upper story were well armed, so that it was impossible for the besieging party to get up stairs. Warren then called for a brand to set the house on fire, in order to burn them out, and while stooping to kindle the fire at the end of the building on the outside, two shots were fired at him from an adjoining shanty, in which several of the thieves had secreted themselves, which lodged in the clap-boards a few inches above his head. The thieves seeing the house about to be consumed, began to jump out of the back windows and run for the brush in the rear of the building. Some of them were followed and shot. Twelve were captured, mostly in running from the house ; among the number were the notorious Young and Fox, the murderers of Colonel Davenport at Rock Island.
BALLOTING WITH BEANS.
The method of deciding the fate of these desperadoes was rather novel. It was no less than balloting with beans-white beans for hanging, red beans for some other punishment. Car- ried against hanging by two beans. The punishment inflicted was from ten to fifty lashes on the bare back, and after this sal- utary scourging the victims were "rivered"-that is, put aboard of canoes and sent adrift down. the river, with the sol- emn injunction never to show their heads again in these parts on pain of having their necks stretched. This vigorous treat- ment of the horse thieves of Jackson and Linn Counties, was the beginning of the effectual breaking up of their operations throughout the county.

EARLY SETTLEMENT.
The first settler in Bellevue was John D. Bell, who erected the first cabin in the Fall of 1835. The first hotel was built by Peter Dutell, in 1836, and was called the Bellevue House. The town of Bellevue was first laid out by John D. Bell, in 1835, the survey being done by Phillip McLean. It was again laid out by commissioners appointed by the United States, among whom were General George Cubbage and Wm. W. Cahill. At that time lots were valued at $7.50 for front lots and $5.00 for back lots, the proceeds, after paying the commissioners and the cost of surveying, being appropriated to the town. The sur- veyor on the part of the United States was George W. Har- rison.
COMMERCIAL STATISTICS FOR 1877.
Bellevue has a population of about 2,000, and is a large ship- ping point both by river and rail. The exports from Bellevue by river are: Wheat, 100,000 bushels ; oats, 200,000 bushels; rye, 30,000 bushels. The exports from Bellevue over C., C. & D. Railroad are : North, oats, 50,000 bushels; corn, 30,000; South, wheat, 50,000 bushels ; oats, 100,000 bushels; live and dressed hogs, 30,000 head.
